EYEGLASS-POLISHXNG DEVICE.

Application filed May 24, 1916.

1o all w hom t may concern Be it known that l, Rosa REBECCA BAR- Nn'r'r,a citizen of the `United States, residing at Lima, in the county ofAllen and itate of Ohio, have invented new and useful lmprovements inEyeglass-Polishing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to eye glass polishing devices so designedto permit of lthe same being easily and readily inserted within aspectacle case when the use of the same is undesired.

inother object of the invention is the provision of a device of theabove stated character wherein means are employed for enabling thedisplacement of the device from the spectacle case.

To this end, use is made of a loop connected between the polishingbodies and when positioned within the spectacle case the polishingbodies are reposed beneath the eye glass lenses with the loop thereof soassociated -with the nose grip of the glasses as to permit of the latterbeing removed. from the spectacle case in a safe and expeditious manner.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in thenovel features, details of construction and combination of parts whichwill hereinafter be more fully set forth, illustrated in theaccompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claim.

Figure 'i is a perspective view of a spectacle case with a pair of noseglasses mounted therein, clearly illustrating the extracting loop of theeye glass polisher in active position; lfig. 2 is a plan view of thepolisher removed from the spectacle case; and ig. 3 is a perspectiveview of the saine, representing the polisher as it appears when in usein the polishing of one of the lenses of a pair of eye glasses.

Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing, in which likecharacters of reference refer 'to corresponding iarts in the severalviews, 5 denotes my improved eye glass polisher generally, G thespectacle case, and 7 a pair of eye glasses 'disposed therein.

My improved polisher 5 comprises a single piece of cloth 8, preferablyeXcelsior cloth, so cut to provide a pair of oval-shaped polishingbodies 9 connected with one Gopies of this patent may be obtained forSpecification of Letters Patent.

another through the medium of a reduced connecting portion 10. Thespecific contiguration of these polishing bodies enables the same tosnugly iit with the opposite surfaces of the eye glass lenses ll, bygrasping the eye glasses in one hand and the polisher grasped betweenthe fingers and thumb of the other hand and applied to the lenses, asldearly indicated in 3 of the drawing. lhe connecting or unitingportions l() of the cloth is provided adjacent one edge thereof with acentrally located opening l2 in which is connected an extracting loop18. This extracting loop is knotted or tied to present the loop with anenlarged portion, whereby the same may be conveniently grasped when itis desired to remove this polisher from the spectacle case. The speciicconfiguration of this polisher further permits of the same being placedin a fiat condition within the spectacle case and the polishing bodies 9thereof are positioned below the eye glass lenses 1i with the extractingloop 13 so disposed with respect to the nose grip of the glasses,whereby the removal of the polisher from the spectacle case will furtherserve to lift the glasses from the case to a su'liicient distanceallowing of the user to conveniently and readily grasp the saine.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing, the advantages of construction and of the methodof operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art towhich the invention relates, and while I have described the principlesof operation of the invention, together with the device which l nowconsider to be the best embodiment thereof, l desire to have itunderstood that the device shown is merely illustrative, and that suchchanges may be made when desired as are within the scope of the claimappended thereto.

l. claim:

A polisher of the class set forth comprising a single piece of cloth cutto provide the same with a pair of oval-shaped polishing bodiesconnected with one another by means of a reduced portion, and anextracting loop loosely connected in an opening formed in suchconnecting portieri.v
